A Close Call.

Benjamin Batten, a farmer residing near
Swedesboro, was on his way home with
his market wagon and double team ON
Tuesday night between six and seven
o'clock and had to cross the railroad track
about one-half mile above Swedesboro sta
ton. He knew the late train was coming
and stopped his team, as he supposed, clear
of the track, to wait for it to pass, but in the
darkness he had driven across the track all
but the hind part of the wagon and stood
placidly awaiting the passage of the train
with the hind wheels on the rails. The
engineer discovered the wagon and blew
the danger signal and put down brakes,
but Mr.. Batten, UNCONSCIOUS of his danger,
did not move until the locomotive struck
the hind part of his big wagon and made
kndling wood OF it. Fortunately the team
was gentle and the driver was not thrown
ont, and when the train was stopped some
distance away and train hands and pass
engers hurried back to the scene Mr.. Bat
ten had shaken himself together and was
holding his horses by the head, waiting for
what would come next Some one was
procured to take his team home and he was
pnt ON the train and taken to Swedesboro.
We will venture the assertion that he
would not for 81 zoo, 000, 900 stand up again
the same way aud let locomotive have a
Nhaek at him,

The musical extravaganza, ''Around the

vocal. The characters are all natural, being
taken from every day life; the artists are ex

it on the stage in construction, plot and
purposes. and the entire performance is as
scccessful as it is original. = Press.

The Supreme Court Decides that 1t Laoks
Jurisdiction.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. 23.-The
Supreme court, to-day, handed down It's
decision in the Standardization case, in
which the former prayed for an injunction
to restrain the latter from exercising the
duties OF the Lieutenant Governor, the
position to which he was chosen at gen.
eral election in November. The opinion
refuses the injunction on the ground of
jurisdiction, thus in effect declaring
the case must be decided By the General
Assembly, not by the courts. The news
of the decision created a good deal OF ex-
citement in the General Assembly.
In the Senate, Houston, Republican,

Homo Notes,

W. J. Carnohan, roadmaster on the Rio
GraHde division of the Texas and Pacific,
was in the city yesterday.
George Potts, heavy railroad con-
tractor from New Jersey, who has con-
siderable work TO do on the Fort Worth
and Rio Graude is in the city. Mr.. Potts
is a thorough railroad man.
Il. W. Gabbett, travelling passenger
agent OF the Atlantic and New Orleans
Short Line, who has made Fort Worth his
headquarters, is well pleased with his
decision and is doing his road fine service.
Tonight the California excursion trains
will leave the UEiOn depot, and carry to
SAP Francisco large number of people
who Will gather at Fort Worth to take
passage. All California excursion trains
continue to start from Fort Worth.
j. B. Reese, travelling passenger agent
of the Union Pacific Railway, with hesd-
quarters ct Kansas City, was in Fort
Worth yesterday and leaves for home this
morning. Mr.. Reese believes thoroughly
IN Kansas City, and says Fort Worth is
laying the foundations for e like pros
perity in securing railroads.
Il. X. Robins, travelling passenger agent
of the Houston and Texas Central, has
decided to make Fort Worth his head
qusrters, as he considers the advantages
of this city superior to those of any other
place in Texas. Mr.. Robins has msde an
Office in the Wells, Fargo & Co.'s build
ing.
The live stock agents of all the princi
pal railroads in the country will be in
Fort Worth on the Sth of March,
to interview the large number of cat
uemen who will assemble in this city
in convention on that day. tits prob
able that a number of contracts for trans
porting cattle will be closed during the
days of the convention.
The magnificent domain being pene-
trated oy the Fort Worth and Denver will
blossom as the rose as result of the
building of this only great Panhandle
line. General Dodge said, while in this
city, that emigration, as rule, moved
from north to south and on direct lines,
and that when the Fort Worth and Den
yer WAS built into the Panhandle thou
sands of farmers would come down
from Kansas and other northern states
and domicile themselves on the line OF the
road. This Judgment of this able and
far-sighted gentleman is certainly correct
and with the settlement of the waste
places along the line not only will the
Fort Worth and Denver be greatly bene-
ated in transporting their products to
market, and the necessary supplies to the
settlers, but the city of Fort Worth will
have its trade boundaries vastly extended. |
Ia eighteen months the Fort Worth and
Denver will most probably be running to
Denver.
The St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas will |
be built to Fort Worth, and via Plano and |

vine and Fort Worth are work
